Retro Versions Of Modern Cars Are A Must See

Dodge Charger

The modern Dodge Charger is definitely a nice looking sedan, but it no longer gives us classic muscle vibes in terms of design. This rendering brings back some of its muscle glory, adding elements from the 1968 Dodge Charger R/T. Yes, you might say the rear wing is a bit too much, but the classic wheels with chrome hubcaps are definitely a great idea.

Bugatti Chiron

Meet the faster and most powerful Volkswagen Beetle in history. It’s built upon the chassis of the mighty Bugatti Chiron and features its monstrous 8.0-liter quad-turbo engine with 1,500 horsepower.

This car is actually more exclusive than the original Chiron, as the hypercar will be produced in 500 examples. On the other hand, the superfast Beetle from the attached image is the only one in the world.

Audi R8

The last mashup from Jennings is actually the most impressive, as it gives the Audi R8 supercar a rally look. The all-wheel-drive vehicle is gaining white multi-spoke wheels from the classic Quattro from the 80s and a fascia inspired by the Audi 100 from the same era. The shape of the radiator grille, however, is influenced by the R8, despite its retro look.

Ferrari LaFerrari

Have you ever wondered how a hybrid Ferrari F40 might look like? This rendering gives us a pretty good idea, combining the looks of the classic supercar and the LaFerrari. Our favorite detail is the fixed rear wing, which sends us strong F40 vibes, while the front end is much more modern with its sleek headlights and large air intakes in the bumper.

Aston Martin DB11

The next virtual car is probably our favorite, because it looks so good that we think Aston Martin should produce it. That’s not going to happen, of course, but the project resurrects the beautiful DB5, adding some components from the equally stunning DB11.

Another thing we like is that, hypothetically, under the hood this car will have the V8 turbo from Mercedes-Benz, which powers the entry-level DB11 version. It has 503 horsepower and makes the car really fast.

Mercedes-AMG GT

This beautiful mashup combines two great sports cars from Mercedes-Benz. The rendering is based on the modern-day Mercedes-AMG GT, modified with different design elements from the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing launched in 1954. We have to say the headlights of the GT look good on those wide fenders and the massive chrome front bumper reminds us why we love the 300 SL so much. Good job.

Ford Mustang

The Ford Mustang was redesigned earlier this year and received a fresh new face that some of our readers described as “awkward.” Here we have a nice solution for those who don’t like the pony's new nose.

This rendering puts a different fascia, inspired by the classic Mustang series, and we should admit it looks quite good. The only thing we'd change is to remove the hood scoop, which actually doesn't look that bad, but somehow doesn't fit the aggressive lines of the modern Mustang.

It's time for some wild Photoshop projects, again.

“They don’t make them like that anymore.” You’ve heard this phrase hundreds of times and probably you think that way too. Modern cars are boring, soulless pieces of machinery, some say, made to last five years or so and to be thrown away. Well, that’s a bit exaggerated to say the least, but we do agree some of the cars on sale today are not even close to the mass vehicles from the 1970s and 1980s, especially in terms of design.

A fresh set of renderings, courtesy of Jennings, asks the question “what if” in the automotive design by mashing some of the most attractive cars today with their classic predecessors. “We’ve married old and new to create some truly unique cars,” the creators describe their fantastic project. Enjoy!
